Leeds vs Tottenham LIVE Commentary: Whites on brink of relegation as Spurs aim for last place in Europe: kick-off time, team news and how to follow

Leeds will potentially play their last Premier League game when they bid to avoid relegation at home to Tottenham this weekend.

The Whites know their survival in the top flight is out of their hands after a 3-1 loss to West Ham left them languishing in the bottom three.

Sam Allardyce’s men are 19th in the table, behind Leicester on goal difference and two points behind Everton in safety.

Leeds will need to end their eight-game quest for a win when they take on Tottenham and hope results elsewhere go their way.

As long as they secure a win, the Elland Road side also need Bournemouth to take points away from Everton and Leicester to fail to beat West Ham.

But Spurs won’t be in the mood to do them a favor either: currently in eighth place they’ll need a win to have the best chance of overtaking Aston Villa for the last European spot.

Leeds vs Tottenham: What has been said?

Ebanie Bridges is so desperate for Leeds to stay in the Premier League that she is providing some personal motivation.

Speaking to talkSPORT, the IBF world bantamweight champion quipped: “Hey guys, if you guys stay up I’ll show my boobs.

“I’ll go into that locker room, lift up my shirt and show my boobs or something.

“I’ll kiss you, whatever. Whatever, I’ll give you a free subscription to my OnlyFans.

“Please, Leeds, stay awake, don’t let me down.”

Leeds vs Tottenham: match data

• Rodrigo is Leeds’ top scorer in the Premier League this season with 13 goals in 30 games, as many as he scored in their previous two campaigns combined (13 in 57 games). He scored twice in the Whites’ 4-3 loss to Spurs in the reverse game, Brian Deane in 1994-95 being the last Leeds player to score home and away goals against them in the same campaign.
• Harry Kane has scored in 25 different Premier League games for Tottenham this season, the most by any player in a 38-game campaign. A goal in this game will see him equal Andrew Cole’s overall record of 26 games scored in 1993-94.

• Tottenham’s defeat would ensure they do not play in Europe next season, for the first time since 2009-10. In fact, it would mean they finish no higher than 8th, which would be their lowest finishing position since 2008-09 (also 8th).
